My favorite version was the Cuba version because it was humorous. Also, it had the most obstructions but Jorgen worked with them all to make a very interesting film. Although I enjoyed all of the different versions, my least favorite...

The Jan Svankmajer film was both horrifying and humorous. It was horrifying because the baby was munching on people, murdering them. The father knew it was a monster baby but the mother was delusional and protective of her "child" so...

The techniques Kentridge uses are very effective. I like how he combines and uses different media in a single work. For example, he used his body and a projected silhouette image made from paper. These shapes are combined to create...

Taris, roi de l'eau I liked that parts were filmed underwater and the different camera angles. The only sound in the video was narration and water sounds. I noticed there was no sound during the slow motion parts and the...

This audio project was very entertaining to listen to. It had the feel of a techno song so I think the length is appropriate (even thought it was an accident, it works well.) The repetition throughout the work also reminded...

The story is just Alvin Lucier sitting in a room, recording, and re-recording his voice. I imagined him in a soundproof room with his recording equipment. It seems like very tedious work. He must be patient. Sound is different from...

The exhibit at the Spark Festival in the Regis Center that really got my attention was …silence of things secret… by Matthew Goodheart. The artist had arranged metal percussion instruments so that they were all tilted slightly differently. Some were...

The Learning to Love You More assignment that I liked best was #67 repair something. I especially liked how people were instructed to make their item broken better than before. These items were things we would normally throw away but...

The dystopia images were haunting. They were people, but not complete; they almost appeared as ghosts of what the people used to be. It also appeared like they were hiding something or oppressing a memory. I don’t think I completely...

I looked at the Alphabet Games by David Kim-Boyle. Caught my attention first when I was waiting for class to start and heard the pinging noises. When I learned it was this interactive artist piece I decided I was going to go learn more about it. I went there twice to check it out, first time was when I watched the video go by and in which letters would pop up and then words based on those single letters. After awhile you realize it was all connected and then even more words started to become static until there were about...

The piece that I looked at was "...silence of things secret..." by Matthew Goodheart. I was drawn to this piece right away because it was big and making noise, and I'm easily amused by noise. It was a series of percussion instruments all placed differently. There was one big gong behind everything. They were all making different noises at different times. There didn't seem to be any sort of rhythm. Not that I could figure out at least. The weirdest part was that they were clearly stagnant, but making noise anyways. I'm assuming there were speakers set up somewhere....

Spark Festival Response Jazari (n): a one-man band done with the work of one hand...sort of. When I entered the gallery and became attentive to the artist, I didn't know whether to stand awkwardly, stare in confusion and curiosity, bob my head, dance uncontrollably, or post up and draw while just listening...so I did it all. His tracks felt like improv, constantly creating a rising and falling tension in the room. They reminded me of a tribal chant. A Spongebob Squarepants episode came to mind; when Gary the pet snail tapped his eyeballs together in a metronomic fashion, launching the...
